The continual use of the word "persons" would actually make a
good topic for a nice incendiary net.flame article.  I can't
stand that word.  I think "people" is far more preferable and
sounds much nicer.  I guess the people using "persons" are trying
to be very serious and think that "people" sounds too personal. 
I think "persons" sounds terribly impersonal.  What's wrong with
a personal word when it's people we're describing?
